I mean it&#8217;s hard enough to convince people that normal monkeys are cute, what with all the slinging of faeces&#8230; but when you throw in the facial disfiguration and raging hard ons, it&#8217;s really not a recipie for a fun day. But I was wrong&#8230; They are actually pretty cute, and much better behaved than the tourists who come to visit them.

The shared showers here are actually in the toilet cubicles (handy if you wanted to sit down to shower). I thought of a new game for that &#8220;Minute to Win It&#8221; show &#8211; putting on fisherman&#8217;s pants in this type of toilet\/shower setup without drenching the ties when they drop on the ground. Obviously, I didn&#8217;t master this, and now have wet toilet floor pants on (Josh pointed out that I should have just walked back to our room in my towel).<\/p>\n<p>Okay, no one has actually peed in a bucket yet&#8230;.but stay tuned for our jungle adventures (which we&#8217;ll blog when we get back in 3 days).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning we got the shuttle to the Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, about an hour away.
